Galaxy Note 2 - Tinny sound in calls

More frequently lately my Note 2 sounds very tinny and loud when making and receiving calls.I joke with a friend that it sounds like she is standing right behind me. Before, I would hang up and redial to fix it it. Now that doesn't work any more. I thought it was a reception issue. Any ideas what might be happening? Has it happened to you? I'm due an upgrade next month but I would like to keep this phone longer if possible.

Reminder feature

Soooo looking to upgrade to this phone from the iPhone 4S . . .love the Reminder app on the iPhone and wanted to know if there is an app or feature like this on the Note II besides the calendar? Is there one that can be downloaded?

I guess I am going to have to upset a Radio Shack employee by RETURNING the GS3 within the 14 days (I'm fully aware that the day you purchase it is counted as day ONE).... Go back to my EVO for a few days until the Note W is released ...

On the 25th is it ALL sales channels or just Sprint Stores and telesales or what will be the availability?

I hate to be like this but its what I have to live with and use for the next 22 months. I have never returned a phone in the 14 + years that I have been with Sprint .. I didnt realize the Note 2 was going to be released so soon... I needed a phone quickly and if I knew on the 10th when I got the GS3 it was going to be on the 25Th I would of waited ... thank god that I am still within the 14 days...(continues)

Good thing is it's an international phone but no data during on the voice calls which most of sprint's LTE phones support the voice and data at the same time now. This leaves iPhone 5 and Note2 on my skip list.
